Please allow me several minutes to read your facts and type my response both initially and when you add a follow up question or add facts. Please don't ask "are you there", etc., since when you post it can erase what I am working on. If we are having a conversation unless I tell you I am going offline, I will be here but I may be doing research.

While waiting for a response, please do not keep asking questions, such as "Are you there", etc. since that can erase whatever I am writing and also interrupts the thought process. I will be back with you as soon as I can do any research necessary, formulate a response, and type it in.

The first part of that 49 CFR 395.8 is a reference to the statute you can find at https://www.law.cornell.edu/cfr/text/49/395.8

That section has to do with record keeping and verification of a commercial driver's record of duty. It is a federal law.

The section titled PA Code 229.16 is a statute you can find at https://www.pacode.com/secure/data/067/chapter229/chap229toc.html

That law deals with the state accepting the federal determinations of what is meant by "out of service", usually recordkeeping of the hours a driver is down and not working.
